At its core, my problem is that I tend to get angry and frustrated with myself, instead of being kind to myself. Self-kindness is easier said than done.

Pomodoro is just a structure that helps me to be kind to myself. Feel free to adapt it to your own needs, as long as it helps you to be kind to yourself and "reset" from distractions.

Thanks, TIL

How is SteamOS on the Deck dealing with this? I thought they also used gamescope

Use gamescope to run the game under Wayland. Gamescope creates an XWayland window (for which you can specify things like resolution, upscaling, and refresh rate) to run the game in, so the game can pretend it's under X11, and gamescope interacts with Wayland.

The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you're going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example "write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are". Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you've been productove or distracted, doesn't matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You've got a fresh start to try again.

For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a "deadline") and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.

I know nuts are full of fat, but I do find that raw nuts make me feel full so quickly that it's hard to ingest as many calories.

Btw did you track your overall intake with an app for a week? Is your excess intake mostly carbs or fat?

If you eat raw nuts, from a mixed bag, without added salt, does that make you feel full?

That or 100% peanut butter usually makes me feel full really quickly

I haven't yet had to put in effort to maintain a healthy weight, so this may not work for weight loss.

But if I want to feel full, I typically eat a big burger (Beyond or Vegetarian Butcher are my favorite brands), or I wok rice with mixed vegetables and kimchi and crispy pressed and baked tofu pieces.

Really, just eat whatever you would eat before going vegan, but vegan versions. Weight loss diets are tough enough without going completely whole foods

Sir, this is [email protected]

Oat or soy yoghurt is really filling too though, good suggestions!

Dangerous Waters.

Very old style, bit clumsy on the controls, but incredibly tense with the gritty sonar stuff.

Been only playing the P-3C airplane so far, but there's also tons of submarines, a helicopter and a frigate.

It is so satisfying to find and torpedo a submarines after staring at sonar graphs and dropping buoys for a while. Love it! I'll be sharing an updated aircraft-oriented controls config when I'm happy with it, based on the one community config that was there, which was more sub-oriented.

I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.

More of a Lenin vibe

It was freely chosen for simplicity.

If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become R*cos(th) and R*sin(th)

I don't understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.

You couldn't be more wrong. 🍉🍉🍉

So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.

So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude day to day) and often not noticed by others (my average productivity in a month is great, though many days I feel shit due to not being able to do what I am supposed to).

In childhood, no symptoms were found. Zero. Partly because everyone in my family is forgetful and mom picks up stuff after everyone all the time, I was constantly reminded/pushed/supported and did not really have the opportunity to forget things (though I still did) and partly because like now, many of these things happen in my head and are not noticeable in the averages that others see. Except when I'm talking too much and interrupting people but I guess thats acceptable when children do it.

Maybe I don't have ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Maybe the shrink misunderstood me.

But I feel shit right now. The title is what I had pre-planned to say to people about the outcome and if they say again "don't act so ADHD". I can say it with a laugh and everyone thinks I'm funny and quirky.

But the truth is, I feel misunderstood. I feel like a failure for having fallen into an ADHD phenotype even though I am hugely privileged and have none of the baggage so many people here do. No childhood trauma, no school/grades problems, no poverty.

I can't help but feel that my behavior is my fault, as is wasting health professionals time, who could have helped someone who actually needed it. Shrink 1 is on "long-term sick leave" now. She got stressed by me clicking things constantly during the (remote) interviews. Another thing to feel guilty about.

Best case now is that they diagnose me with some sort of anxiety disorder now. I have been reading a book on autism that I found and it somewhat satisfies my yearning for closure and community in what the author finds, but it also makes it extra painful that I don't have that.

I don't have ADHD, I just am super annoying. And I need to deal with that and it's not actually all that funny.

I'm sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for sharing your stories and memes and goodbye!
